FORST KL2 GTX CHAINSAW BOOT (FORST-KL2-GTX) When you're dangling 20 meters up a canopy or scrambling through thick forestry scrub, you can’t afford to be worrying about your footing. The Forst KL2 GTX is built specifically for arborists and forestry pros who need heavy-duty, certified safety without feeling like they’re lugging concrete blocks on their feet. It’s light, incredibly agile for tree-climbing, and ready to handle a bit of stick from day one. Why we’d actually wear these: Level 2 Chainsaw Protection: Fully certified to EN ISO 17249:2013 standards. This gives you serious peace of mind and keeps the H&S rep off your back when the saws start buzzing. Vibram® MEGAGRIP Outsole: The gold standard for traction. This high-performance rubber compound delivers unparalleled bite on slick, wet bark and loose forest ground so you stay firmly planted. GORE-TEX Extended Comfort: Engineered for high-output work in moderate to warmer conditions. It stops water dead in its tracks while letting sweat escape, meaning no swampy feet when you're cranking hard. CRISPI® Thermo Wire Technology: An innovative structural wire system that adds serious stability and support around the upper, protecting your ankles on uneven terrain without locking up your movement. Aluminum Toe-Cap & Rubber Guard: Heavy-duty impact defense up front that keeps the weight down, paired with a tough rubber outer toe cap so you don't shred the leather when wedging into tight branches. 4-Part Comfort System: Packed with Active Cushioning, Balance Support, Active Stability, and a Progressive Flex chassis, meaning these boots bend where your feet bend and absorb the shock of hard landings. Men’s Wide Last: No cramped toes or pinched sides here; these are built roomy on a proper wide mold to keep your feet happy through long, grueling shifts. Agile Construction: Tipping the scales at just 930g (size 42), they deliver total security and maximum flexibility without dragging you down during technical vertical climbs. Tested in the Hawke’s Bay elements. Available for local pickup in Napier or fast NZ-wide shipping.
